Column: Kobe Bryant's spirit hovers over Lakers' 17th NBA championship
While the Lakers have dedicated this postseason to Bryant, many think of him daily for other reasons, particularly when they put on a pair of his Nikes.
This was evident when they wore the snakeskin Black Mamba jerseys designed by Bryant himself. They were 4-1 in those jerseys. Davis hit that shot against Denver in those jerseys. They wore those jerseys like armor. They competed in those jerseys like Kobe. Highlights from the Lakers’ championship-clinching win over the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.But their final victory Sunday was one whose sweetness was tinged with the bitter. The most impactful force in these Finals, as with all sporting events in these last eight month, was the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nonetheless, Laker Nation will take it, especially after enduring the many wicked curves in a journey that began after the team’s last championship in 2010.
